Last winter, the Yankees completely a transaction that many (including yours truly) thought was a bit on the dirty side. Essentially, the Reds had a deal lined up with the Dodgers that would have reportedly brought back a nice package of players. That is, until the report came out linking Aroldis Chapman to domestic [&hellip

On the heels of signing Ruben Tejada to a minor league deal, the Yankees have announced three more minor league contracts. None of these players figure to have the opportunity to make the roster that Tejada will have. First, they resigned utility infielder Donovan Solano, who actually hit a home run with the big club when [&hellip

As expected, the Yankees lost several players in the Rule 5 draft today, though hardly any of them are completely surprising. Luis Torrens is the best player of the bunch, but he is also the most raw player of the bunch. He also plays a position that will make it very hard for him to stick. [&hellip

We will start with this: With the Matt Holliday signing now official, the Yankees don't have any space on their 40-man roster. Hence, they will not be making a selection tomorrow. The Yankees may lose a few players, however. LHP Tyler Webb – If he isn't drafted, it will be a miracle. 6'6" LHP with [&hellip

The Yankees continued to shuffle their deck today, making a minor trade dealing LHP James Pazos to the Mariners for Zack Littel. Pazos is the latest player the Yankees are moving off of their 40-man roster for a player who does not yet need to be placed on the 40-man roster. Pazos, as you probably know, [&hellip

In what has become one of the most memorable years in Yankees history that didn't even involve a playoff team, the Yankees continued their "veteran purge" today by dealing Brian McCann off to Houston for two pitching prospects (Albert Abreu and Jorge Guzman). The Yankees will also pay off $11M of McCann's remaining contract ($5.5M [&hellip

You have probably read about it many times already – the Yankees have a 40-man roster problem this winter. But, what exactly does it mean, and just how bad is it? I don't have to give a huge primer on it – the bottom line is that after a certain number of years in your [&hellip

An update on all of the players the Yankees currently have down in the Arizona Fall League: Gleyber Torres: 9-for-21 with two doubles, two home runs, four runs batted in, four walks, and four strikeouts. He is 2-for-4 stealing bases. Torres is obviously off to a nice start down here as he [&hellip

For part two of this series, I am going to focus on the corner infield spots. This is not an area of extreme strength right now in the system, but the third base position is certainly on the upswing. As for first base, many great first basemen (including our own Mark Teixeira!) started off [&hellip

Now that the season is completely over, I thought it would be a good time to go through the system a bit, position by position, to see where the Yankees stand heading into the off-season. Obviously, any player can be traded, released, get hurt in winter ball or by falling down on a basketball court. [&hellip

Scranton (Defeated El Paso, 3-1, to win the Triple-A National Championship, a one-game showcase between the winners of the PCL and the International League.

First of all, I want to thank everyone who has read these reports dating all the way back to April. Obviously, thanks to some stellar play throughout the organization, these reports extended longer than usual. At one point this postseason, it was like typing up a regular season report – there were FIVE teams playing [&hellip
